Last season, Hamilton was the starting goalie at Downingtown East as a sophomore and posted 15 wins along with a save percentage of 62.9%. Hamilton is an athletic netminder with noteworthy size, fast hands, and an active stick. Plus, Hamilton excels at tracking shooters. That list of assets produces a high percentage of clean saves. Hamilton’s agility, willingness to use any part of his body, and recovery skills allow him to make the unorthodox saves too. His poise and quick reflexes enable Hamilton to stone shooters at close range. The combination of Hamilton’s non-stop motor and ground ball skills allows him to scramble out of the crease to pounce on GBs. Once the ball is in his stick, Hamilton can leg it out himself or deliver a precise clearing pass upfield.      

The wiry and athletic Hamilton was extremely impressive as he stopped a barrage of shots on Saturday. His high energy, attacking style is unique among goalie prospects. Hamilton used his fast hands and polished stick skills to cover the top corners. He also slid post to post or dropped high to low to make several stunning saves. When opponents generated opportunities around the crease, Hamilton remained poised, did not bite on fakes, and then snuffed out those close in attempts. Hamilton also did a tremendous job of tracking perimeter shooters. His precise clearing passes triggered a handful of fast breaks for D-East.
